In the paper, psychoticism is associated with traits such as tough-mindedness, risk-taking, sensation-seeking, impulsivity and authoritarianism.

LOL Trump is liberal then??

Seriously, people ought to check definitions and read the paper, discussion of errors, and retraction before drawing any conclusions about what this means.  Learn a bit about the causation/correlation debate of personality/politics before deciding what this "error" means.

First step is to go beyond the New York Posts framing of what "science" says. Second is to take a close look at the definition of "psychoticism" used here.

This is turning out like the shrimp treadmill.
